Chapter 2710 Sincerity
“Mr. Chance!” Yuven greeted Jared politely with a bow when he saw the latter.
Julius was shocked speechless and kept his head low as he watched from behind.
As Jared had some questions for Yuven, he didn't let Julius follow them as they headed intoImperial Beast City.novelbin
After entering a private room, Jared got straight to the point and asked, “Yuven, how well do youknow Norwal City?”
Yuven was a little surprised when he heard Jared ask about Norwal City all of a sudden. “I knowquite a lot about Norwal City, My Lord. King Lucian and I are neighbors, so I deal with him veryoften. By the way, I have just returned from Norwal City. I am planning to have my daughter marryKing Lucian's son. That way, both our families will be united in marriage, and the beast race willhave more authority. May I ask why you are interested in Norwal City, My Lord?”
“What do you think of King Lucian, then?” Jared asked after giving it some thought.
“He is extremely power-hungry, greedy, and will do anything to achieve his goals,” Yuven replied,revealing Lucian's characteristics without any hesitation whatsoever.
Jared froze and stared at him in confusion. “If he is as bad as you say, then why would you haveyour daughter marry his son?”
Yuven let out a wry chuckle as he explained, “You may not know this, My Lord, but I don't reallyhave a choice in this matter. If I don't do so and unite our families through marriage, someone elsemight. When that happens, Imperial Beast City will have no means of defending itself and beconquered by them. As such, I have no choice but to sacrifice my daughter. On top of that, if we allywith Norwal City, we will be able to join forces and attack Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk's Hawk King
Cave. The Hawk King Cave contains a heavenly thunder tree that is tens of thousands of years old.According to legend, the heavenly thunder tree has been struck by heavenly thunder eighty-onetimes and survived. The heavenly thunder fruit is a great resource for cultivation!”
Yuven's eyes were filled with greed when he mentioned the heavenly thunder tree.
“Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk? Heavenly thunder tree? Is Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk one of the threekings and four archons?” Jared asked with a confused frown.
Yuven shook his head. “No. Apart from us three archons and four kings, there are many other beastraces out there that are out of our jurisdiction. Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk is one of them. He isoutside of Imperial Beast City and Norwal City's jurisdiction. He refuses to listen to anyone simplybecause he has the heavenly thunder tree in his cave. Many have coveted the heavenly thundertree over the years, but none have succeeded. Eventually, people just stopped going afterBloodthirsty Thunderhawk altogether. The strong prey upon the weak in this world, after all. BothKing Lucian and I have thought about attacking Hawk King Cave in the past, but neither of us daredmake a move because we also had to watch out for each other. Now that Imperial Beast City andNorwal City are going to team up, however, we will be able to take on Hawk King Cave and sharethe heavenly thunder tree!”
After hearing Yuven's explanation, Jared finally understood the situation. Demon beasts likeBloodthirsty Thunderhawk were most likely similar to rogue cultivators in that they refused toconform to existing forces.
“How sincere do you think King Lucian is in collaborating with you through this arranged marriage?”Jared asked.
“I... I have no idea,” Yuven replied while shaking his head.
Little did Yuven know, the arranged marriage was nothing but a ruse. What Lucian really wantedwas to take over Imperial Beast City.
“I think you should hold off on your collaboration with Norwal City. They stole something from me, soI need to get it back first,” Jared said.
